Artist, American, 1941 - 2023

The image depicts a man in a suit sitting with one leg crossed over the other. He has light skin, slightly closed eyes, a serious expression, and slicked-back hair. He is holding a glass with a beverage and has one hand resting on his knee. The man is wearing a dark suit, a white shirt, and a watch on his left wrist. In the background, someone is partially visible holding a magazine titled "ARTnews" and a cigarette. Large letters are visible, along with smoke in the environment. The setting seems casual and possibly social.
